Overview

What is .flights

.flights is the plural of the English word flight. It speaks to travel agencies, ticket offices and flight comparison sites, and to those who write for travelers about flying, its schedules and its tips. It was added to the internet’s root in 2014, and IANA’s record names Binky Moon, LLC as the body responsible for it.

It says exactly what you sell: travelers know from the address that they’ll find a flight, not a hotel or a tour. With us its price is the same in the first year and at every renewal, and it supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing.

But travelers pay a large sum here, so they trust a name they know more, and it is among the less common extensions; your agency’s known name before the dot is stronger than a general word. Its word is also longer than .com and plural, so write it rather than only saying it.

Who it suits

For your field: is .flights the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .flights says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A flight comparison site

    Excellent · The first choice

    The address says exactly what visitors find: flights to compare.

    Register it with.flights.com

  • A travel agency

    Good · A good fit with .com

    It says what you sell; but travelers pay a lot, so the agency’s name on .com reassures them more.

    Register it with.com.flights

  • A ticket office in Saudi Arabia

    Good · A good fit with .com

    .flights says what you sell, and .com is for the office name your customers in Riyadh know.

    Register it with.flights.com

  • An air travel blog

    Good · A good fit

    For those who write about flying and airports; .blog says it’s a blog.

    Register it with.flights.blog

  • A tour organizer

    Consider another · Consider .tours

    A tour is on the ground, not in the air; .tours is more precise for what you offer.

    Register it with.tours.com

  • An air freight company

    Consider another · Consider .express

    The word means passenger flights; .express is closer to shipping.

    Register it with.express.com

What it does for you

What you gain when you register it

On the ticket

Where travelers turn if their time changes.

On the office window

Email carrying the agency’s name.
